Post from Mac Randolph RIP Alex Pretti, He was my Dad’s ICU nurse. He read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video, but his speech is very on point.

Stephen Miller’s tweet on the Minnesota shooting is slapped with a community note

Minnesota says the US government will engage in a cover up: "The actions of federal authorities to date indicate Defendants will continue to withhold, destroy, alter, or conceal (or allowed to be withheld, destroyed, altered, or concealed) evidence, if not restrained from doing so."

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones." MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

Maybe he should have let it endorse Harris?

Where the state’s rights folks at?

This is who was taken from the world today. The ultimate responsibility lies beyond those who pulled the triggers, though they bear it too. Bien, Miller, and Trump all worked to set the conditions for it to happen. If no serious and decisive measures are taken to correct this, it will happen again

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

@slyngstad.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

Four hours of continuous attacks on Dnipro, Anti-aircraft fire & Explosions. Drones in daylight, this is terrorism 101. These strikes serve no military purpose. They are designed solely to send a message while so-called “peace talks” are being floated.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

First - there is no LEO purpose to this. Second - pistol whipping is assault with a deadly weapon so professionals DONT DO IT.

We're getting a shutdown, I think

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

Seconded

Leaders of ISAF used this same talking point for years Just sayin’ 👇 bsky.app/profile/atru...

A must read #Minnesota #America #USA

What lying fucks they all are.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Of all the lies the NRA told itself, this was the biggest.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Do not trust fascist American tech.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Minneapolis is in a very real sense taking the sins of the American electorate onto its own shoulders

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

they turned off live chat. Fuckin cowards.

I have questions for the NRA

AOC: "Early reports are that he was an ICU nurse at the Mpls VA. So we are talking about Donald Trump accusing a VA ICU as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating service members to our country ... his final act on early was helping a woman pushed to the ground."

Leadership. The moment demands leadership. Not management from behind a desk. Leadership from the front. Present and constant.

For daring to protect two women

Trump and Congress could end the loss of life immediately. But they choose not to

ICE guy was pissed because he wanted to continue to terrorize and abuse the woman he'd just thrown six or eight feet, and the eventual victim prevented that.

Nothing says “attempting to massacre law enforcement” like a guy holding a cell phone in one hand with the other hand above his head.

A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping others, murdered by a man who has dedicated his life to hurting others.

This man that was executed by ICE was trying to protect a woman btw. Let that sink in.

Alex Pretti was a million times the man and protector that these violent alpha wannabes are.

The pigeon toes. The earnest crossing guard hand. The way his other arm, holding the camera, is tucked into his side. The way he stands before the threat, looking over his shoulder at the wellbeing of another. The brown, the beige, the hat. One humble soul. Here is another Tiananmen Square.

I hope this happens. It is very much called for at this moment. x.com/IlvesToomas/...

Incels given power yet not enough training to handle the systems they’re given.

Watch this piece of shit say “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?”

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Masked ICE gestapo agents just murdered an ICU nurse after assaulting him, stealing the firearm he was lawfully carrying, spraying him with chemicals, then restraining him so they could shoot him point-blank. And the federal government's response is to shield the killers and justify the killing.
